Miss Amelia Hughes

I am a research assistant within the Child Health and Development Group, with a focus on serious mental illness and the lived experiences of young people accessing mental health services– particularly those from underserved populations. I primarily contribute to the quantitative arm of the NIHR-funded COACHES study, analysing CAMHS referral outcomes and service provision for children and young people with social work involvement across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Trusts. I hold an MSc in Clinical Mental Health Sciences and a BSc in Psychology from University College London. My research experience spans quantitative data analysis, qualitative interviewing, and contributions to several systematic reviews. My MSc thesis was a systematic review of qualitative studies exploring the experiences of individuals with complex psychosis receiving mental health rehabilitation.
